About Cooper's UX Boot Camp

November 18-21 in San Francisco, CA

At Cooper, we believe you learn best by putting new skills into practice solving the kinds of challenges designers face on a daily basis. That’s why we designed UX Boot Camp, a four-day deep dive into our user experience design methodology that gives you a real-world problem to solve along with the toolkit you’ll need to tackle it.

What will you be doing?

In this UX Boot Camp, participants will be exploring new ways to support patients as they manage Multiple Sclerosis. Specifically, participants will team up to design distinct mobile solutions that help patients track their symptoms and medication, manage their lifestyle, and connect with others who have been affected by MS.

What is the UX Boot Camp?

The UX Boot Camp is an opportunity for designers, developers, and project managers who are familiar with the basics of Goal-Directed design (such as personas and scenarios) but want an opportunity to challenge and refine their skills by working on a focused project together. Over the course of four days, you’ll take a deep dive into Cooper’s Goal-Directed Design approach and apply what you learn to a real-world problem. By the end of day 4, you will have interviewed stakeholders and users, crafted fully developed personas and scenarios, sketched framework, and pitched your design concepts to a team of stakeholders and senior Cooper designers.

Testimonials

"Working directly with a real client and conducting research interviews with real people was unlike any of the other training experiences I've had over the years. Learning with written case studies is good, but there’s no substitute for the real deal. People are unpredictable. Cooper is giving students a chance to learn, fail fast, and not lose their job in the process.” - Megan Ellinger, National Academy of Sciences

"I enjoyed the "experiential" aspect of the training - the hands on approach, mixed with presentation/teaching, was a combination that really helped me learn and retain the information. I was able to interact closely with others and work as part of a team. In most trainings, I just take notes and forget most of what I "learned"." - Andrew Kallemeyn, The Lampo Group

“The workshop training was grounded in delivering real value to stakeholders. The expectation of a concrete deliverable created a positive stress that motivated learning, engagement and team building amongst attendees.” – Shawn Crowley, Atomic Object

"Most conferences are set up to give you a shotgun of bite-size information as you move from session to session. UX Boot Camp was critical to me in that it was comprehensive and consistent with its teaching. I got the whole picture of UX skills alongside some in-the-trench experience." -Matthew Ensor, The Lampo Group
